What is Head Lice?

Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp. They feed on blood and cause itching, discomfort and irritation. Head lice do not jump or fly but are spread easily through close contact. They can be treated with medicated shampoos or lotions designed to kill the lice and their eggs.

Treatment is safe and effective when used correctly.
